The pair's single - originally sang by Frank Skinner and David Baddiel - is due to hit the shelves on Monday, in plenty of time for the World Cup tournament next month.

"I was embarrassed by how emotional I felt singing this song, I nearly cried," says engaged Russell.

"It took me back to Euro '96 – Spice Boys, dentist's chairs and Gazza's last hurrah. It's the only good England song and I look forward to singing it as we crash out on penalties. Then I'll be crying."
